Directly from Wisconsin come not only beer brands like Pabst, Miller, or Schlitz. No, the currently best punk-pop band also hails from this northern state of the USA. The debut was released in mid-August on the very good Red Scare label from Chicago. A great address for fans of melodic punk rock. Teenage Bottlerocket released their first albums here, as did Nothington, Lillingtons, Methadones, Cobra Skulls, and the Menzingers. Now it should slowly dawn on everyone where this journey is headed. Super melodic, powerful, and infectious old-school punk rock. It reminds me of a wilder version of Chixdiggit or a slightly harder take on Beatnik Termites. Four guys masked with hate masks, who name themselves only after the respective colors of their Chucks, are delivering what is probably the best punk rock album of 2012. Since the release of the EP at the beginning of the year as a teaser for the album and the subsequent tours around the area, they seem to be everybody's darling. And rightly so. I haven't been this excited about an album at first listen in a long time. Fortunately, I was able to get a CD version of the album, as it is already completely sold out! And that after not even half a year. And what news just circulated on the internet a few days ago? The band has now landed on NOFX singer Fat Mike's label Fat Wreck Chords. Wow, that was quick! Toby Red Scare (by the way, a former employee at Fat Wreck and Lookout Rec.) releases and builds great bands with their first attempts and releases, and when they take off, Fat Mike comes calling to cash in... The first step will be the re-release of the debut in January. But whatever, who cares. The music matters, and besides, the new MASKED INTRUDER label is one of the best in the punk scene. In April and May, they will finally be seen live in Germany!(chico loco)
